    @libremax said: If a topic, reply, or user has a negative (or even very negative) reputation, you should be wary and avoid replying until you’ve made sure it isn’t part of this type of spamming method (or an other type). I apologize. I replied yesterday to a post that might have had negative reputation (I don't remember), because I did not think about trolls. I just saw a few points made that resonated (I might have even upvoted it). My post got long. I tried to acknowledge a few good points, while considering the reality of UT developers doing the best they can on existing (mostly old) hardware.

    @projectmoon said: @oldbutndy some are valid. Some are technically correct, but don't matter. Others are matters of opinion. But to me it mostly reads like complaining. Iterating a lot of problems (real or supposed), and using a sycophantic AI to write long winded arguments. Instead of AI generated complaints, maybe take action? Maybe I misunderstood when I read some @grenudi comments. I thought AI was used to try to summarize a large number of hours of research into something more concise. My own use of AI, in asking google to estimate how long to write a kernel driver for a sub section of hardware (after reverse engineering it), was to get a sense of just how much effort that is. (No idea here, since I am hardware guy with some embedded controller coding, and data sheets were always available). So, when I multiplied all the various manufacturer sub sections by all the hours required (AI est.) to reverse engineer and code kernel drivers, the effort required seemed to be hundreds or thousands of times as large as the current method using halium layer. Summary: only way it (native component drivers in the kernel for a whole device) will ever happen is if OEM's WRITE those drivers. Translation (for past devices) = NEVER. Future: Maybe (brax 3 ? or others ?). So, from what I understand of all this so far, is UT developers are making this work the ONLY way practically possible. Best way architecturally ? does not matter. No other way. Future: when multiple millions are using UT ...

    @Kadafi I have a FP5 and the 2FA app you are talking about installs without problem. Maybe it's because I'm on stable while by using daily you are exposing yourself to any fleeting update bug. The usual cause of this problem is network error. Try to download the click by hand using Morph QT6 browser and visiting open-store.io. If you can't download it, either your network is blocking somehow or your install is hosed (I have already warned you against this possibility, I'm still not convinced by your counter-arguments...) If you can, navigate to the resulting file and try to install it from there using the store app.

    @kugiigi said: @DenMoore Isn't FuriOS use like Debian + Phosh? But yeah, Halium exists so we can have usable alternative OSes without having to go through the rigorous process of mainlining every device. Mainline is much better but not realistic to get something usable immediately. Or within any reasonable time frame, unfortunately. The OnePlus 6 is probably as far back as I'd stretch "reasonable," and it's on the tail end of "reasonable," being ~7 (8?) years old at this point. It's extremely unfortunate. FuriOS is Phosh on top of Debian base, yes, probably with some other stuff to make the phone work as well.

    @grief493 I see you have the right mindset for all this, better than the one I had when I was trying ubtouch, so I doubt my report will be of any use to you, you seem to have a sense of direction on your own. Anyway, thank you for your attention, and its a pleasure to see such a collective contribution mindset that you present. Best of luck!

    Reporting back for future generations, I think I've found the issue. I was retracing my steps and found this: When installing postmarketOS there is a device specific instructionto run "fastboot oem uart enable" command. So I tried to run "fastboot oem uart disable" and then flash UT. So far working like a charm. Did a switch off, did a restart and all works as I'd expect it - also with Libertine set up.

    That page probably is not for what you expect. It is not really a membership registration page. You become a member of the community simply by interacting and participating. I think the page's purpose was to generate a list for a pool of volunteers and their skills in order to match them with project needs. But may I ask what you registered for? Maybe you can be pointed in the right direction to contribute by someone here.
